To this day I can’t believe that I get to watch these incredible, educational videos for FREE. Erin, you’re an icon💐
Exactly ! So amazing 🙌🏼
Totally! Her videos are full of info you wouldn't get just from watching others' videos. ❤️❤️❤️
yes she is soooo good. I’d love to see her get a tv show. she’s that good
@Salt Sugar Butter Yum! Erin is an Asset to Food52..
My favorite person on this channel👍🏾👍🏽👍🏾👍🏽
I dare you to have a bad day while watching this wholesome lady baking whimsical, scrumptious cupcakes 🧁🧁🧁
I was having a bad day with someone testing my patience on my way to work.
Now I’m invested in cupcakes. I can’t say I can be angry while looking at this stuff. I love baking
I am 62 and have been cooking and baking all my life for family and friends .Even though I have been baking all my life, I learn so much out of Erin s videos .
Before watching Erin McDowell videos, I never, ever baked. Like, ever. I always just considered myself a cook, never a baker. She has completely changed my life in the kitchen. She is both such a pro and completely disarming, which is a rare combo. Like so many others, I'm so happy and shocked these videos are available to everyone for free. 🧁🧁🧁Proof of my changed life: I just made three pecan pies for the first time today!
So glad to hear it, Lindsay! Thanks for watching (and tag us if you post your pecan pie pics!)
BRB CRYING #happybaking TEARS 😭🥰
That’s fantastic…I have baked since I was a child and love it…I think you will love it also and just go for it and you will gain confidence quickly…proud of you girl 👍
I just feel like she’s would en the nicest most supportive friend in the world 😍
As a home baker, I find that it is so enjoyable to watch and learn new techniques. At 61, it's never to late to learn. Your techniques are clear and easy to do. Thank you for sharing because financially, going to school is not in my budget during these time of covid. Again, thank you! I appreciate your videos.
You look goodd
❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@sakuraesther6309 thank you!
This video was worth the 45 mins of my time. I’m 45 and baked most of my life, but still gleaned helpful tips from this video. Thank you ❤
I’m a guy, I like to cook, but rarely bake. Erin is incredible and I find myself drawn to all her videos! Very talented baker and presenter. I feel like I’m attending a master class. Thanks Food52 and Thanks Erin!
I always love, Love, LOVE Erin's way of teaching us. No matter what she's talking about, she has a smooth and entertaining way of expressing it. Thanks Erin!!! 🤗🤗
She is a walking talking smiling encyclopedia of baking wisdom!
👍🏽👍🏾👍🏽👍🏾
To prevent grease on the bottom of a cupcake liner, you can put a couple of grains of rice underneath them in the pan as they bake!
Erin making her own sound effects while icing is everything! How about an episode about cakes? Like what is the difference between different batters and methods, which cakes are better to stack up etc.? I know I'd be fascinated :)
Yes! I feel like a strictly, These Cakes Are Made This Way And Are Best For This Application, would be so great!
This girl is wise beyond years, such an amazing teacher 💞
Erin you should charge for your classes!!!
Erin is like the cool senior in college who's most fun at parties but also guides you through your studies and internships. Love you Erin!!
Any of the cupcakes that didn't turn out perfect, break them up and make cake balls. This is a nice tutorial with a lot of sound advice. I am inspired to make cupcakes for Halloween. So much fun.
Raise your hand if you're part of the 'I didn't measure out my batter and now I have an absolute monster of a cupcake and 11 normal ones' club
🙋🏾♀️.😄
This channel is so unique and stands out by bringing us these amazing baking series ...and watching Erin make these is feast to eye and ears...through her passion for baking, we get to learn a lot ..and for even those who don't bake,it's still worth watching it for Erin ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, Swetha :)
Yet another episode that shows why I love Erin SO much! You are so knowledgeable. You are so gracious. You are so clear with instructions and explanations. You are so quirky and fun. Please be my personal friend (I feel like you are already!).I'll be over tomorrow, ok?
Erin, you are the queen, honestly. I’m a professional cook, but I always come back to watch your videos just to refresh my memory if I need to bake something and feel a bit rusty, and, of course, to learn something new. We are so blessed to have you!
OMG! I have been waiting for this! For some reason I have been having trouble with the texture of my cake/cupcakes. As always, Erin gives me the correct recipes and demos. I have watched other tutorials from other baker’s and learned NOTHING! I love her book “The book on pie”, but she needs to write more cookbooks for these “Bake it up a notch “😉 She is my guru
I admire this woman so much!
15:04 the paddle said: you little egg, get in here! 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! The foaming method is by far the most common method used in Sweden, but we add the eggs and sugar together from the beginning then whisk on medium-high speed for 8-10 minutes! It makes the most delicious cupcakes and sponge cakes - definitely a technique I would recommend for light and fluffy cupcakes!
Thanks so much for sharing, Ella!
I found you just before enrolling in culinary school and as I entered the pastry section I was able to reference your videos and I actually nailed the biscuit method because of your video with your dad! A wonderful resource:) Thank you! I’m sharing with my classmates as well ❣️ Oh and muffins!!!! I made blueberry lemon and also received an A 👏👏👏
Love you Erin. I hope you never run out of baking projects.😁🧁🍰🎂🍩🥮🍞
Thank you so much for making all of these Bake It Up a Notch episodes freely available. They have helped me so much!
Erin McDowell and Claire Saffitz have given me a love for baking that I never had before. Her energy is so contagious, I’ll bet her kitchen is the place everyone wants to hang out (being fed in mind and body). Thanks, Erin, for making food fun and approachable!
Erin would really do BakeTube a favour by making a savoury muffin video!
So comprehensive! I love bake it up a notch
I somehow lost you for awhile. Am so happy I get to watch you create your lovely pastries again - somehow I’m a total failure at baking. Can watch you and wish I wasn’t such a klutz 😊
Erin you are the real treat! Thanks for sweetening our day 🧁
Very interesting. I have learned so much in this episode. Never knew about the reverse method of making Cupcakes before..
As usual excellent demonstration. Keep up the good work.. Thanks 👍.
Hi Erin, I am a beginner, and I am so happy I found your videos. They are full of good information, thank you
12:06 Erin purrrrrrrrrs "Vanillaaaaaaaa " ya gotta love this girl. She absolutely LOVES to BAKE. Her PASSION is remarkable & rare. 20:19-24 OMGOSH, she's fangirling over the batter. LOL. I LOVE YOU ERIN. YOU GO GURL!!!!!
My Cupcake Dreams have come true! 🧁
Is there a video on choosing icing to go with your cake? It would be wonderful to learn about what types of textures, flavors, etc. go well with each other when deciding how to ice your cake/cupcake! This was a lovely video, and i feel like this was the only thing it didn’t touch on!
That’s a great suggestion.
The online course everyone needed. And free of charge to!! 🔥❤️
That wave and them cupcakes. You got me. I am fighting my sweet tooth right now. 👍
cooking is just satisfying and relaxing to watch especially when ur wearing headphones
👆👆he's got mushrooms, LSD, bars,
psilocybin, Dmt, Ayahuasca, nomes, he's got
all psychedelic products
i love watching your videos, they give me that relax feeling that i never get bored or want them to go fasterthe bad thing is that they always make me hungry (and that i dont have your excellence at cooking
Erin - Thank you for the hint about refrigerating to get a fudgy texture! I've tried so many methods - who knew it was so easy!
My fave cooking show ANYWHERE. Totally fan girling over Erin. The cold snap? Chocolate ganache filled? Layering cookie crumbs before baking? My mind is blown. I’m so excited to try all the things!!!! Thanks for being you Erin xx
I really stumbled upon your show I loved your show I am going to try my best to cook cupcakes with my daughter I recently lost my wife and I live alone so I'm going to start my business with my daughter and I really love you show and I am seriously looking forward to spending time with my daughter thank you and keep up what you doing.
So much helpful information! Would have loved to see a cross-section of the interior of a cupcake from each of the different mixing methods to see the crumb. Enjoyed the video, though. Thanks, Erin!
My first time to see a beautiful pastry chef... 😘💋
Those cupcake boxes are incredible!!😍
i was trying to find words to express my admiration for your elegant and beautiful way of presenting all the recipes, but i dont think so you deserve all the respect
Thank you for helping me elevate my small business.
You are so cute and sunny! I love that I found your channel. Even after baking for most of my life you have explained so many things I never thought about, and solved problems I just accepted as something that just happens sometimes.
This was my 1st time watching one of your videos and when I say I spend hours upon hours upon hours watching baking videos and this is one of the best I have seen. I didn't even mind that it was 45 mins long... I am a baking student at Stratford University and I still got some of the best tips from this video. I am going to sit down tonight and watch more. Thank you so much!!! I started my own small cake business a while ago and this is really helpful...
WE LOVE HER ! She must be protected!
Thank you so much for this amazing CupCake class. Erin you really are amazing.
I cannot believe I stumbled on you. Funny, easy to understand and lovable. Never looking any anyone else.
Wow this is phenomenal - how informative and professional yet approachable! Thank you Erin!
Fantastic. It keeps them clean, especially if you use varied toppings. I'm joining your channel. I'm so excited.
That bowl for the banana cupcakes is 🤌🏻

I never tire watching you Erin, you are such a pro with so many helpful hints. When I find myself streaming down my subscriptions it's never you that I cut loose. Thank you much I have learned a ton watching you the reason I follow 52 👍
Silicon cupcakes liners are the best! They don't get greasy, they're nonstick, and they don't leak dye into your cupcakes like colorful paper liners! Oh and your muffin tin won't get all greasey the way they do with paper liners. Annnd of course they're reusable.
Aloha🌺from Hawaii, Erin. You are my favorite on this channel. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Im so ready for a Erin tv channel! The camera guy is amazing with the closeups
Effortless Erin
Baking magic as always

omgosh! she needs to open a bakery!! Love everything she made!!!
I am so impressed with these tutorials. Thankyou so much.
You are a perfect teacher. Lovin your videos girl!
I have a tip for your cupcake liners.
To prevent the oily look that you're talking about on the bottom of the liners, sprinkle some rice in the muffin tin before putting the liner in it ❤
amazingly beautiful and delicious perfection i love no music no taking because i am paying such close attention to your calm hands and reading the screen helps me remember steps thank you i am excited to make this for my family
Erin good morning from a new fan in Australia❤🇦🇺 you make it so easy to watch you really rock xx
I am hooked!!! I have a cake cooking while I watch this. I am getting ready to do my second layer cake.
My cake was BEAUTIFUL. Most importantly it was structurally perfect, I did a beautiful crumb coat. I made a Russian buttercream which was DELICIOUS and my fat ass , really loved it lol. But I really have to practice on which icing will work best for decorating. So I
Know which one I
Will be watching next’
that definitely tastes like heaven
Pound cakes make amazing cupcakes. You leave the liners out, butter and flour the cup cake pan. Then everyone gets full coverage of crisp pound cake crust.
Of course you do not icing them. You glaze them.
Erin, can’t wait to make some cupcakes with my granddaughter 🙏
I picked up quite a few great tips! I've made some of these mistakes and wasn't sure why. Now I know better. Great video. I'm excited to watch more. Thanks, Erin!
Thank you Erin and Food 52! Another wonderful and so very useful baking lesson! 😍
